Hi, folks. This is, in fact, off-topic: I'm fighting a user's FC19 box. I updated him, rebooted... and his ATI video card seems to not
be
supported any more (and it's *not* that old - an RV620).
I have a system running Fedora 19 that has a RV620 video card in it. It is using the radeon video driver and working just fine.
~]$ modinfo radeon | egrep -v 'firmware|alias|param' filename:
/lib/modules/3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko

3.11.4-201? From my reinstall, I have 3.11.1-200 and 3.11.6-200. No 201, and no new update (I just did that as I saw this).
I don't reboot my machine each time a new kernel is released. And that machine just indicated it has updates (including that kernel version). Updating packages as I write this.
So for two reasons I wasn't running the latest and greatest kernel.
Here's what I've got on a system I'm running.

Ok, so two things: first, do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Second,
No xorg.conf
what's your kernel line in grub look like? Oh, and for the third of two
linux /vmlinuz-3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/vg0-rootfs ro rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 rd.lvm.lv=vg0/swap rd.luks=0 vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=vg0/rootfs rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
questions, do you have radeon blacklisted, or nomodeset, anywhere?
I do not have radeon blacklisted, nor do I have nomodeset.
If it's worth saying, I didn't have to fiddle with the display adapter or any other piece of hardware when I set this particular machine up. As one would hope, it was a hands off install (smooth and painless).
The thing that drives me crazy is, when I reinstalled the whole system, whatever video driver the installer used for graphical install *worked*. So: does anyone have any idea a) what driver that uses, and
b) how to
force grub2 to use it (or do I also need to do this to the initrd)?
So you're seeing problems with the splash/loading screen?
You've added a ! where there was none. No, the graphical install displays *perfectly*.
